sell yourself as a person first. If they like you and trust you, they'll buy from you.

My job relies 100% on repeat sales and I have a finite number of customers so I have to maintain my integrity at all cost. First you tell the customer that it is your intention to make them more profitable and competitive, then you prove it to them through your actions. Hustle, hustle, hustle, under-promise and over-deliver. Always do what you said you would, when you said you would.

Now if you are selling something one-time and have a large potential customer base; just don't let them see what a dirtbag you are until it's too late, Shrimp.
